Description:
Eugene Peterson, translator and editor, set out to give us that word in language we use every day, a reading Bible that would enable the Word to penetrate our hearts and minds, transforming us day by day into the person God desires us to become.

Written in the same kind of language you’d use to talk with friends, write a letter, or discuss politics, The Message preserves the authentic, earthy flavor and the expressive character of the Bible’s best-loved books.

The first complete Bible produced
by The Lockman Foundation was the Amplified Bible. The Amplified
Bible is a translation that, by using synonyms and definitions, both
explains and expands the meaning of words in the text by placing amplification
in parentheses
and brackets and after key words or phrases.This unique system of translation
allows the reader to more completely grasp the meaning of the words as
they were
understood
in the original languages. Through multiple expressions, fuller and more revealing
appreciation is given to the divine message as the original text legitimately
permits.

The Amplified Bible is free of personal interpretation and is independent
of denominational prejudice. It is a translation from the accepted Hebrew, Aramaic,
and Greek manuscripts into literary English. It is based on the American
Standard Version of 1901, Rudolph Kittel’s Biblia Hebraica,
the Greek text of Westcott and Hort, and the 23rd edition of the Nestle
Greek New Testament as well as the best Hebrew and Greek lexicons available
at the time. Cognate languages, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and other Greek works
were also consulted. The Septuagint and other versions were compared for interpretation
of textual differences. In completing the Amplified Bible, translators
made a determined effort to keep, as far as possible, the familiar wording of
the earlier versions, and especially the feeling of the ancient Book.

Through amplification, the reader gains a better understanding of what the Hebrew
and Greek listener instinctively understood(as a matter of course).
Take, for example, the Greek word pisteuo, which the vast majority
of versions render as "believe." That simple translation, however,
hardly does justice to the many meanings contained in the Greek pisteuo:
"to adhere to, cleave to; to trust to have faith in; to rely on, to depend
on." Notice the subtle shades of meaning which are unlocked in John 11:25:

"Jesus said
to her, I am [Myself] the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres
to, trusts in, and relies on) Me, although he may die, yet he shall live."

Description:
Presenting the Word of God as a unified Jewish book, the Complete Jewish Bible is a translation for Jews and non-Jews alike. It connects Jews with the Jewishness of the Messiah, and non-Jews with their Jewish roots. Names and key terms are returned to their original Hebrew and presented in easy-to-understand transliterations, enabling the reader to say them the way Yeshua (Jesus) did! For readers familiar with the Jewish New Testament, the Complete Jewish Bible is a welcome sight!

The GNT (also known as Today's English Version or Good News Bible) was one of the first meaning-based (or functional equivalent) translations of the Bible into English. It was originally published in 1976, then it was revised in 1992. The GNT presents the message of the Bible in a level of English that is common to most of the English-speaking world. The GNT is still used widely in youth Bible study groups and in less formal worship services.

The ISV is a totally new work translated directly from the original languages of Scripture and derived from no other English translation.

The ISV was produced by Bible scholars who believe that "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16 ISV) It takes advantage not only of the most ancient manuscripts available, but also of the most recent archaeological discoveries.
The ISV is the first English Bible conceived, designed, translated, and formatted primarily for a computer-literate generation. It is being produced entirely in a computer aided media (CAM) format.

The ISV is Sensitive to Poetic Literary Forms in the Original Text. It treats subtle nuances of the original texts with special care. For example, several passages of the Bible appear to have been rendered in poetic form when first penned by their authors. The ISV has meticulously crafted these original passages as true poems—thus communicating a sense of their original literary form as well as translating the original intent of the New Testament author.

The NET Bible is a completely new translation of the Bible with 60,932 translators’ notes! It was completed by more than 25 scholars – experts in the original biblical languages – who worked directly from the best currently available Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. Turn the pages and see the breadth of the translators’ notes, documenting their decisions and choices as they worked. The translators’ notes make the original languages far more accessible, allowing you to look over the translator’s shoulder at the very process of translation. This level of documentation is a first for a Bible translation, making transparent the textual basis and the rationale for key renderings (including major interpretive options and alternative translations). This unparalleled level of detail helps connect people to the Bible in the original languages in a way never before possible without years of study of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. It unlocks the riches of the Bible’s truth from entirely new perspectives.

Since its completion in 1971, the New American Standard Bible has been widely embraced as “the most literally accurate English translation” from the original languages. Millions of people, students, scholars, pastors, missionaries, and laypersons alike, trust the NASB, learning from it and applying it to the challenges of their daily lives. Discover what the original text says, word for word.

This is the original 1977 edition of the NASB. It includes italics for words which are not in the original, poetry styling and small caps, chapter headings, numerous translator's notes (more than 17,000) and cross-references (more than 93,000).

The NIV is a highly accurate and smooth-reading version of the Bible in modern English. It has the largest library of printed and electronic support material of any modern translation. The translation itself strikes a balance between a word-for-word and thought-for-thought philosophy, for the best representation of the intent of the original languages in today's language. The translators' mission was to "produce an accurate translation, suitable for public and private reading, teaching, preaching, memorizing, and liturgical use." It is the world's best-selling modern translation, with over 150 million copies in print since its first full publication in 1978.

Updating the NIV for 2011

The chief goal of every revision to the NIV text is to bring the translation into line both with contemporary biblical scholarship and with shifts in English idiom and usage. In 1984, various corrections and revisions to the NIV text were made. A lengthy revision process was completed in 2005, resulting in the separately published Today’s New International Version (TNIV). This updated NIV builds on both the original NIV and the TNIV and represents the latest effort of the Committee on Bible Translation (CBT) to articulate God’s unchanging Word in the way the original authors might have said it if they had been speaking in English to the global English-speaking audience today.

The version for theWord includes more than 100,000 cross-references and closely follows the printed format, including poetry indentation, paragraphs and passage headings and translator's footnotes. Read more and see samples at the product page.

Description:
First of all, one thing that it is 'not' is a
"new translation". No new translation work has been done. No new
manuscripts have been found. No new scholarship has been invented. No
new theories on textual criticism have been laid out.

What it 'is' is a concerted, diligent effort to
provide an English edition that actually says 'what' God said. It is
compiled from out of the NKJV, LITV and KJV texts, Proof-Reading,
CORRECTING the ERRORS the unGodly have put into the English versions,
with the aid of the tools that scholarship has already provided to
anyone who desires to use them. In some cases all three of these
versions are in error. How often have you heard a Bible teacher
proclaim something like, "Our Bibles say X, Y or Z, but in the
Hebrew/Greek it REALLY MEANS, A, B or C"? My question has always been,
"If the Hebrew/Greek REALLY MEAN something else, then 'why' don't our
English versions say so?" Thus, the VW-Edition seeks to provide a work
that presents "A, B & C". Other than some cases where some words
can have many optional meanings, or subtle shadings of means such that
a word-study might enhance one's understanding; for the most part, if
one reads from the VW-Edition, word-studies into the Hebrew/Greek
should not be necessary.

The method by which the VW-Edition has been compiled is
that of
Proof-Reading. Reading from the English texts in parallel, comparing
word-by-word to the linguistic study tools to verify whether or not the
English says what it is supposed to; and when errors are found,
correcting them. Scrutinizing: Is that the best word to convey the
correct meaning? And, accounting for the complexities in going from an
eastern language to western, is the verb tense the closest possible for
correct understanding? As anyone who knows more than their own native
tongue is aware, translating from one tongue to another is not always
an 'exact' science, and the VW-Edition is not an "amplified" version,
where all the various options are presented. But it has been the
diligent goal to present the MOST CORRECT words; current English words
that are "closest" in meaning to the texts.

PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION
A few statements need to be made respecting the origin of this edition
of the Revised Version of the English Bible.

In the course of the joint labors of the English and American Revisers
it was agreed that, respecting all points of ultimate difference, the
English Companies, who had had the initiative in the work of revision,
should have the decisive vote. But as an offset to this, it was
proposed on the British side that the American preferences should be
published as an Appendix in every copy of the Revised Bible during a
term of fourteen years. The American Committee on their part pledged
themselves to give, for the same limited period, no sanction to the
publication of any other editions of the Revised Version than those
issued by the University Presses of England.

There still remained the possibility that the British Revisers, or the
University Presses, might eventually adopt in the English editions
many, or the most, of the American preferences, in case these should
receive the approval of scholars and the general public. But soon after
the close of their work in 1885 the English Revision Companies
disbanded; and there has been no indication of an intention on the part
of the Presses to amalgamate the readings of the Appendix, either
wholly or in part, with the text of the English editions.

The American Revision Committee, after the publication of the Revised
Version in 1885, resolved to continue their organization, and have
regarded it as a possibility that an American recension of the English
Revision might eventually be called for. Accordingly they have been
engaged more or less diligently, ever since 1885, and especially in the
last four years, in making ready for such a publication. The judgment
of scholars, both in Great Britain and in the United States, has so far
approved the American preferences that it now seems to be expedient to
issue an edition of the Revised Version with those preferences embodied
in the text.

If the preparation of this new edition had consisted merely in the
mechanical work of transferring the readings of the Appendix to the
text, it would have been a comparatively easy task. But the work was in
point of fact a much more elaborate one. The Appendix was itself in
need of revision; for it had been prepared under circumstances which
rendered fulness and accuracy almost impossible. This work could of
course not be taken in hand until the revision was concluded; and since
it required a careful consideration of discussions and decisions
extending over a period of many years, there was need of many months'
time, if the Appendix was to be satisfactorily constructed, especially
as it was thought desirable to reduce the number of recorded
differences and this required the drawing of a sharp line between the
more and the less important. Manifestly such a task would be one of no
little difficulty at the best. But when the time came for it to be
done, the University Presses deemed that the impatient demand of the
British public for the speedy publication of the Revision must be
respected; and they insisted on a prompt transmission of the Appendix.
Prepared under such pressure and in such haste, it was obviously
inevitable that it should be marked by grave imperfections; and the
correction of its errors and the supplementing of its defects has been
a work of much time and labor.

When the Appendix was originally prepared, an effort was made to pave
the way for an eventual acceptance of the American preferences on the
part of the English Presses, by reducing the number of the points of
difference to the lowest limit, and thus leaving out much the larger
part of the emendations which the Revisers had previously by a
two-thirds vote pronounced to be in their opinion of decided
importance. In now issuing an American edition, the American Revisers,
being entirely untrammelled by any connection with the British Revisers
and Presses, have felt themselves to be free to go beyond the task of
incorporating the Appendix in the text, and are no longer restrained
from introducing into the text a large number of those suppressed
emendations.

The remainder of this Preface has especial reference to the Old
Testament. Nothing needs to be said about the various particular
proposals which are found in the Appendix of the English Revised
Version. But some remarks may be made concerning the General Classes of
changes therein specified, and also concerning those emendations in
this edition which are additional to those prescribed in the Appendix.

i. The change first recommended in the Appendix - that which substitutes
"Jehovah" for "LORD" and "GOD" - is one which will be unwelcome to
many, because of the frequency and familiarity of the terms displaced.
But the American Revisers, after a careful consideration were brought
to the unanimous conviction that a Jewish superstition, which regarded
the Divine Name as too sacred to be uttered, ought no longer to
dominate in the English or any other version of the Old Testament, as
it fortunately does not in the numerous versions made by modern
missionaries. This Memorial Name, explained in Ex. iii. 14, 15, and
emphasized as such over and over in the original text of the Old
Testament, designates God as the personal God, as the covenant God, the
God of revelation, the Deliverer, the Friend of his people; -- not
merely the abstractly "Eternal One" of many French translations, but
the ever living Helper of those who are in trouble. This personal name,
with its wealth of sacred associations, is now restored to the place in
the sacred text to which it has an unquestionable claim.

The uniform substitution of "Sheol" for "the grave," "the pit," and
"hell," in places where these terms have been retained by the English
Revision, has little need of justification. The English Revisers use
"Sheol" twenty-nine times out of the sixty-four in which it occurs in
the original. No good reason has been given for such a discrimination.
If the new term can be fitly used at all, it is clear that it ought to
be used uniformly.

The use of "who" and "that" for "which," when relating to persons,
should commend itself to all as required by grammatical accuracy. The
same remark applies to the substitution of are for "be" in indicative
clauses, the omission of "for" before infinitives, and the change of an
to "a" before "h" aspirated. The latter change was made in the English
Revision of the New Testament, but not in that of the Old. Likewise we
have uniformly adopted the modern spelling in place of antiquated
forms. No one would advocate the resumption of the exact orthography of
the edition of 1611. The mere fact that in a few cases an older form
has happened to be retained constitutes no reason for its perpetual
retention.

ii. Inasmuch as the present edition differs from the English Revision not
simply in presenting in the text the American preferences as given in
the Appendix, a few remarks may be made with regard to the additional
variations which will be found to exist.

As has already been intimated, this edition embodies a very
considerable number of renderings originally adopted by the American
Old Testament Company at their second revision (and so by a two-thirds
majority), but waived when the Appendix was prepared. These represent
the deliberate preference of the American Company; but, for reasons
already assigned, they were not included in the Appendix.
Partly coinciding with the foregoing is a number of alterations which
consist in a return to the readings of the Authorized Version. While in
some cases the older readings, though inaccurate, seem to have been
retained in the English Revision through an excessive conservatism, in
others they have been abandoned needlessly, and sometimes to the injury
of the sense and the sound. In such cases fidelity to the general
principle that has governed us has required us to, give the preference
to the rendering of the Common Version. Among the many instances of
these restorations we may note: Ex. xx. 4, 13; Lev. xix. 22; Ps.
xlviii. 1; civ. 26; cxiv. 4; cxvi 11 Prov. xiii. 15; Am. vi. 5.

Sometimes we have found occasion to recede from proposals originally
made, when a more careful and mature consideration required us to do
so. Besides individual cases, like S. of S. vi. 4, 10; Ezek. v.13, may
be mentioned the fact that the requirement of the Appendix, that "be
ashamed" should everywhere be changed to "be put to shame," has been
found to need qualification. While the change seems desirable in a
majority of the instances, it is by no means so in all. We have
therefore retained "ashamed" in a large number of passages; in some,
however, we have preferred "confounded" as better suiting the
connection.

Very many of the instances in which we have gone beyond the literal
requirements of the Appendix are alterations demanded by consistency.
Changes were originally proposed in certain passages only, though the
reason for the changes equally requires them to be made in numerous
others. Thus at Ps. xxxiii. 5, and in twenty-four other places,
"justice" was to be put for "judgment." But it is manifest that in a
multitude of other passages there is equal need of the same alteration.
We have accordingly undertaken to introduce it wherever the Hebrew word
plainly has this abstract sense. For the same reason we have
substituted "ordinance" for judgment" in the numerous passages, like
Lev. xviii. 4, where the word denotes, not a judicial sentence,
threatened or inflicted, but a law of action. This rendering of the
Hebrew word is found in the Authorized Version in some instances, and
has been introduced by the Revised Veision in a few more; but, since
the English word "judgment" in common use never denotes a statute or
command, it is manifestly desirable that "ordinance" should be used
wherever the Hebrew word has this meaning.
Similarly, the English Revision in a few cases, and the Old Testament
Appendix in a few more, put "despoil" for "spoil." But the same reason
which holds for those few is equally good for the numerous others in
which this word occurs. The word "spoil" in the Authorized Version
represents a great number of Hebrew words, some of which denote "lay
waste," "ruin," or "destroy," rather than "despoil"; and as "spoil" has
nearly lost in popular use its original meaning, and is liable to
occasion misconception, we have replaced it by "despoil," "plunder,"
ravage, and other terms, each as best adapted to the connection.

In like manner we have carried out another alteration which was made to
a limited extent by the English Revisers - the distinction between the
words "stranger" ("strange"), "foreigner" ( foreign"), and "sojourner."
These renderings correspond fairly well to three distinct Hebrew words
there is no good reason why the correspondence should not be made
uniform throughout. Likewise we have carried out consistently the
substitution of "false," "falsehood," and other terms, for "vain,"
"vanity," where the meaning of the original requires it. Here too a
beginning was made by us in the Appendix. Many other examples might be
adduced.

Here may be mentioned also that changes made for the sake of euphemism
have been considerably increased. It has not been possible in every
case to find an appropriate substitute for terms which in modern times
have become offensive; but when it has been possible, we have deemed it
wise to make the change. Some of the words, as, for example, "bowels,"
are tolerable when used in their literal sense, but offensive when
employed in a psychological sense. Thus, no other word would be
appropriate in 2 Sam. xx. 10; but in Jer. iv. 19 or Lam. i. 20 to
retain that term would be both unpleasant and incorrect. The conception
of the writer is not really reproduced by a literal translation. The
Hebrews were accustomed to attribute psychical action or emotion to
various physical organs, whereas in English such a trope is limited
almost entirely to "heart" and "brain." There is nowhere any occasion
for using the latter of these in the Bible; consequently it is almost
unavoidable that "heart" should often be used as the translation of
different Hebrew words. All scholars know that the Hebrew word commonly
rendered "heart" is used very largely to denote not so much the seat of
the emotions, as the seat of thought. It is rendered in the Authorized
Version more than twenty times by "mind," and might well be so rendered
much oftener.

The word "reins" is one of those which in the Old Testament is used in
a psychological relation. This word was retained by the English
Revisers, and was also left without mention by the American Revisers
when they prepared their Appendix. But if the synonymous word "kidneys"
had been used in these passages, there would be an earnest and
unanimous protest. In favor of the continued use of "reins," therefore,
one can only urge the poor reason that most readers attach to it no
meaning whatever. We have consequently regarded it as only a consistent
carrying out of our general principle when we have uniformly
substituted "heart" for it, whenever it is used in a psychological
sense.

In this connection it may be remarked that, while the English Revisers,
yielding to the urgent representations of the Americans, voted to
substitute "its" for "his" or "her" when relating to impersonal objects
not personified, the substitution was so imperfectly made that we have
had occasion to supplement the work in some two hundred cases.

Furthermore, the general intention of the American Revisers to
eliminate obsolete, obscure, and misleading terms, has been more fully
carried out by replacing some expressions which were left unmentioned
in the Appendix; e.g., "bolled" (Ex. ix. 31), "in good liking" (Job
xxxix. 4).

Closely connected with the foregoing are certain additional alterations
which have seemed to be required by regard for pure English idiom.
We are not insensible to the justly lauded beauty and vigor of the
style of the Authorized Version, nor do we forget that it has been no
part of our task to modernize the diction of the Bible. But we are also
aware that the rhetorical force and the antique flavor which we desire
to retain do not consist in sporadic instances of uncouth, unidiomatic,
or obscure phraseology. While we may freely admit that the English of
the Scriptures can, as a whole, hardly be improved, yet it would be
extravagant to hold that it cannot be bettered in any of its details.
What was once good usage is often such no longer; and we can see no
sound reason for retaining such expressions as "smell thereto" (Ex.
xxx. 38), "forth of" (instead of "forth from"), "inquire at "(1 K.
xxii. 5), "a fool's vexation is heavier than them both" (Prov. xxvii.
3), or "when... he be jealous over his wife" (Num. v.30). These are
only a few of the many instances of phraseology which there is the best
reason for amending.

A change of a more general kind is the introduction of a greater degree
of consistency and propriety in the use of the auxiliaries "will" and
"shall." The latter is certainly used to excess in the Authorized
Version, especially when connected with verbs denoting an action of the
Divine Being; and the two are also often very inconsistently used, as
may be observed in such a striking case as Ps. cxxi. 3, 4.

Again, the attempt to translate literally from the original has not
infrequently led to Hebraisms which had better be avoided. Many of
these have indeed become, as it were, naturalized in our language, and
need not be disturbed. But others must be called bad and outlandish.
Thus, in Ezek. xx. 17, we read, "mine eye spared them from destroying
them," which is a very literal translation of the Hebrew, but very poor
English. Scarcely more tolerable is the expression, "that they may be
to do the service" (Num. viii. 11), which also comes from
over-literalness. To the same class belongs the phrase "by the hand
of," as used after such expressions as "Jehovah spake" (or,
"commanded"), e.g., in Num. xxvii. 23. This is indeed the literal
rendering; but the Hebrew really means simply "through" or "by means
of," and is in the majority of these instances in the Authorized
Version rendered " by," but sometimes "by the hand of." Manifestly the
simpler form is every way preferable; and the change, if any is made,
should be in this direction, whereas in the English Revision "by" is,
in nine cases out of forty-two, changed to "by the hand of." Similarly,
"in the land," in Deut. v. 16 and in several other places, has been
changed in the English Revision to "upon the land"; but as "land" is
here equivalent to country," "in the land" is clearly the most
appropriate. In both these groups of cases we have everywhere adopted
the idiomatic English, rather than the slavishly literal, rendering.

In introducing certain translations different from those of the English
Revised Version, and also not directly or implicitly required by the
Appendix, we have been governed by the conviction that, in cases where
accuracy and perspicuity clearly required an emendation, we were fully
warranted in resorting to it. We have been careful, in making these
alterations, to consult the best authorities, and especially the recent
carefully revised versions of the German, French, Dutch, Danish,
Swedish, and Norwegian Bibles. Few certainly will object to such
alterations as are found in Dent. xxxii. 14; Judg. v.20; Is. xxx. 32;
xxxv. 8; Hos. xi. 2; Mic. i. 6. We have also not hesitated to insert
"the" before "Jordan" and other names of rivers. Likewise, as the
English Revisers had with good reason removed the fabulous "unicorn"
from the Old Testament, we have removed the equally fabulous "dragon,"
as also the "arrowsnake" of the English Revision (Is. xxxiv. 15) - an
animal unknown to zoology, the term having obviously been adopted
through a too literal translation of the German word "Pfeilschlange."

Another particular in which we have to some extent deviated from the
requirements of the Appendix relates to our treatment of the references
in the margin to the readings of ancient versions. On account of the
extreme difficulty of correcting the Hebrew text by means of those
versions, we originally decided that it would be better to make no
reference to them at all. The case is radically different from that of
the New Testament, where the variant readings are mostly found in Greek
Mss. of the New Testament itself. The authorities referred to in the
Old Testament are translations from the Hebrew; and though the date of
these translations is more ancient than any extant Ms. of the Hebrew
Bible, yet there is no means of verifying with certainty the text of
these translations; and one can never get beyond plausible conjecture
in attempting to correct the Hebrew text by means of these versions. It
is one thing to admit that the Hebrew text is probably corrupt here and
there; quite another, to be sure how to rectify it. In the English
Revision there are frequent references in the margin to the ancient
versions. The most of these seem to us at the best of trivial
importance, and have been dropped. A few represent only a different
vocalization of the Hebrew. A certain number, however, have to do with
variations of some importance and such as may, with considerable
probability, be conjectured to represent the original Hebrew. We have
therefore retained a little more than one-sixth of the references given
in the English Revision, but have been careful to designate which of
the ancient versions contain a specified reading, instead of making the
vague, and often inaccurate, statement that some" or "many" ancient
versions present the reading in question.

For the sake of facilitating the use of the Old Testament we have
provided it with marginal references to parallel and illustrative
passages, and with topical headings. In preparing the references we
have been assisted by able scholars not connected with the Old
Testament Company. The aim has been to illustrate and elucidate the
meaning by referring to other passages which, either in word or in
thought, bear a resemblance to the one under consideration. Previous
lists have been consulted, but they have been carefully sifted, and the
effort has been made to omit everything that is irrelevant or
misleading. In preparing the headings we have intended, by means of
brief but descriptive terms, to enable the reader to see at a glance
what the general contents of each page are. Everything that might seem
to savor of a questionable exegesis has been carefully avoided.

Considerable attention has been paid to the paragraph divisions and to
the punctuation. While the English Revisers did well to abandon the
older way of making a paragraph of each verse they often went to the
opposite extreme of making the paragraphs excessively long, leaving in
some cases whole pages without a break, as, for example, at Gen. xxiv.
and Num. xxii.-xxiv. We have revised the paragraph divisions
throughout, making them generally shorter, and sometimes altering the
place of the division.

In the matter of punctuation, we have aimed to remove many
inconsistencies found in previous editions, and also, while retaining
the general system adopted by our predecessors, to make the book
conform somewhat more nearly to modern usage. One result is a
considerable reduction of the number of colons, which are often
replaced by semicolons, occasionally by periods or commas. In some
cases a change of punctuation has modified the sense; as, e.g., in Gen
ii. 5; xiv. 24; Ezek. xxix. 9, 10. We have also made much more frequent
use of the hyphen than has been made in previous editions. In many
instances we have recurred to the punctuation of the Authorized
Version, especially where the English Revisers have departed from it
out of an undue regard to the pausal accents of the Massoretic text; as
e.g., in Lev. vi. 7; Zech. xi. 16.
Further particulars respecting the points of difference between this
edition and the English Revision of 1881-1885 may be learned from the
Appendix found at the close of this Testament.

Earnestly hoping that our work may contribute to the better
understanding of the Old Testament, we commend it to the considerate
judgment of all students of the Sacred Scriptures.

Description:
To all Lovers of Truth, the Author dedicates his Translation of the New
Testament.
The Author saw, very early in life, that a translation of the New
Testament was necessary. He began his investigations at the age of
twenty-one, and has faithfully studied the Original since that time. He
has made his translation without reference to any version; that is, he
adopted no version as a basis. His work is not disposed to be trammeled
by any version, but desired to find the truth of God, as it is
contained in the Original. The truth thus found, he has endeavored to
express in the English language as now spoken. He has been careful to
express the exact sense of the Original, without permitting himself to
be confined to an imitation of the letter of the Greek. In revising his
work, he re-examined the common version, and whatever that version has
expressed the sense of the Original in good English, he has adopted it.
In this way he has, as he hopes, embodied all the excellencies of that
version, and avoided its errors.
The author takes pleasure in acknowledging himself largely indebted,
for the English dress of the Translation, to his friend, and brother in
Christ, John Augustus Williams, of Harrodsburg, Kentucky.
The work has been carried on under many adverse circumstances; but, by
the good providence of God, it has been completed. May it go forth,
under the Divine blessing, to establish and comfort the hearts of those
who love the Truth.

This module is a modification of theWord's KJV module, made with Costas
Stergiou's permission. It's title is Authorised (King James) Version,
Pure Cambridge Edition first published by Cambridge University circa
1900-1970s. It is the result of the textual purification process that
has occurred since 1611 when the Holy Bible was completed and printed.
Millions of copies conforming to this edition were issued by Bible and
missionary societies in the twentieth century. This text stands in
contrast to all other editions (especially those created since the mid
to late 1800s).

The KJV text is in the public domain, except in the United Kingdom,
because the rights are vested in the Crown (English royalty).

Modification Schema: theWord's KJV module was used as the basis for
modification because it already has the translators notes in it,
Strong's numbers, red lettering, and paragraphing. It has been modified
to match the Pure Cambridge Edition (PCE) which was printed by
Cambridge University Press circa 1900-1970s. Modifications include:
1. Spelling - The spelling has been modified to match the older
spelling of the PCE. Modifications include: enquire/enquired to
inquire/inquired; razor to rasor; counsellor/counsellors to
counseller/counsellers; ankle/ankles to ancle/ancles; LORD'S to LORD's;
expenses to expences; Gaba to Geba in Ezra 2:26, Sarah to Sara in Rom
4:19; 9:9; 1Pe 3:6.
2. Paragraphing - The modern paragraphing scheme has been replaced with
that of the PCE. There are no paragraph breaks after Acts 20 other than
at the end of each chapter.
3. Red Lettering - The red lettering, an American innovation, has been
modified to match the PCE by removing all red lettering from Acts 1:9
on. The Cambridge Cameo Edition Bible states, "With the words of our
Lord while upon earth printed in red." These are the words he spoke,
but not the words others spoke in quoting him, from Mat 1:1-Act 1:9.
More recent red letter editions have begun making red the words Jesus
spoke after his resurrection as well as his words quoted by others.
4. Psalm Headers - These have been reduced to a smaller font size than
the verse text to match the PCE.
5. Psalm 119 Section Headings - These are the names of the letters of
the Hebrew alphabet. They have been enlarged to a larger font size than
the verse text to match the PCE.
6. End notes to Paul's Epistles - These have been removed from the
translator notes since they are not part of the translator notes and
placed at the end of each epistle as they are in the 1611 and PCE and
in a smaller font size than the verse text to match the PCE.
7. End notes to the Testaments - These have been added to the last
verse of each testament since they are a part of the PCE in the same
size as the verse text to match the PCE and made bold to make them
distinguishable from the verse text.
8. Hyphenation of Compound Proper Names - The hyphens in compound
proper names have been removed, with certain exceptions, in the digital
format found in bible programs. They have been reinstated to match the
PCE in accordance with the KJB-PCE-RTF.rtf file available from
http://www.bibleprotector.com/ and clicking on the link: King James
Bible: Pure Cambridge Edition: Rich Text Format: Compressed Zip (1.37
MB).
9. Miscellaneous Corrections - Italic word corrections; change "the
Hivites" to "and the Hivites," Exo 23:23; punctuation change in Jer
32:5 (. to ?); capitalization of both letters (AE) from the converted
ash character; correction of capitalization of spirit in Act 11:12.
10. Translator Notes - The translator notes have been modified to match
those found in the Cambridge Cameo Edition Bible.

Description:
The Bible In Basic English was printed in 1965 by Cambridge Press in
England.

The form in which the Bible is given here is not simply another example
of the Bible story put into present-day English. The language used is
Basic English.

Basic English, produced by Mr C. K. Ogden of the Orthological
Institute, is a simple form of the English language which, with about
1,000 words, is able to give the sense of anything which may be said in
English.

Working with the Orthological Institute, a Committee under the
direction of Professor S. H. Hooke, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament
Studies in the University of London, has been responsible for a new
English form of the Bible made from the Hebrew and the Greek.

In this undertaking, the latest ideas and discoveries in connection
with the work of putting the Bible into other languages were taken into
account, and when the Basic form was complete it was gone over in
detail by a Committee formed by the Syndics of the Cambridge University
Press.

The Basic Bible, which in this way was watched over by two separate
groups of experts through its different stages, is designed to be used
wherever the English language has taken root.

Frequently, the narrow limits of the word-list make it hard to keep the
Basic completely parallel with the Hebrew and the Greek; but great
trouble has been taken with every verse and every line to make certain
that there are no errors of sense and no loose wording. It is only
natural that, from time to time, some of the more delicate shades of
sense have not been covered; on the other hand, it is well to keep in
mind that in the Authorised Version the power and music of the language
sometimes take so much of the reader's attention that these more
delicate shades are overlooked.
In fact, the Basic expert is forced, because of the limited material
with which he is working, to give special care to the sense of the
words before him. There is no question of the Basic work taking the
place of the Authorised Version or coming into competition with it; but
it may be said of this new English Bible that it is in a marked degree
straightforward and simple and that these qualities give it an
independent value.

Signs used in this book
... are used where it is no longer possible to be certain of the true
sense of the Hebrew words, and for this reason no attempt has been made
to put them into Basic.
*** are used as a sign that one or more Hebrew words, necessary to the
sense, have been taken out at some time or other.
[ ] are used for marking additions made by later writers.
( ) are used for marking additions put in for the purpose of making the
sense clear.
The numbers used for divisions of books and for verses are the same as
in the Authorised and Revised Versions of the English Bible.

PROLOGUE.
I GRADUATED from College in 1859. The same year is quite memorable in
the history of Biblical criticism in the discovery of the Sinaic
Manuscript in the convent of St. Catherine, on that notable mountain,
by Dr. Tischendorf, the learned German critic, after spending forty
years searching through Bible lands for everything competent to throw
light on the blessed Scriptures, which suffered so much interpolation
and omission, especially during the Dark Ages, when not one man in a
thousand could read or write and the world was filled with violence and
beclouded with ignorance and superstition, with no cessation of the
flowing blood and consuming fires, which everywhere hounded the saints
of God to martyrdom and heaven.

Very soon after this glorious discovery the Lord permitted a copy of
the critical Greek Testament, founded on the Sinaic manuscript, by
Tischendorf, to reach me. I have been reading it ever since. I suppose
it has never been published out of Germany. Since the death of
Tischendorf, Westcott and Hort have published his Testament under their
own names. I have been reading the New Testament in Greek more than
forty years; during the last twenty-five years making no use of any
other. When Bishop McTyeire, in 1884, put me in the evangelistic work,
I soon found myself in great camp-meetings in the summer and the cities
in the winter, surrounded by the Lord's people of all denominations,
listening, spellbound, to the exposition of the Scriptures from the
original Greek. Soon they began to solicit me to translate the
beautiful, inspired original into the plain diction of the current
English, giving them the benefit of my opportunities to understand the
real meaning of the precious Word. More than twenty years I waived
these solicitations, feeling my unworthiness and shrinking from the
responsibility. Finally the pressure seemed to become irresistible.
From ocean to ocean my daily Bible readings were vocal with importunate
clamors for me to translate the blessed Word. This is my only apology
in the case. The matter reached a climax where I feared to resist lest
I might grieve the Holy Spirit, and after all the maxim "Vox populi,
vox Dei, — the voice of the people, the voice of God," might turn out
to be true, and I would make a sad mistake by neglecting an opportunity
to glorify Him.

I. Let me here say, once for all, I have neither the desire nor the
expectation that this translation shall supersede your good Old English
Bible; but, like the Revised Version and other translations, help you
to understand it. It is said that two thousand mistakes have been found
in the English Version, of which nine hundred and four are corrected in
the Revised Version. These errors, in the vast majority, are of no
importance; and really none of them affect any cardinal truth of God's
Word. These errors are divisible into two general classes; i.e., the
omissions and the interpolations, of which the latter are by far the
more important.

2. THE OMISSION. The tendency on the part of transcribers during the
intervening ages has never been to omissions, but to interpolations.
1Thess. 4:1 "Therefore, brethren, finally let us beseech and exhort you
through the Lord Jesus, that as you receive from us how it behooves you
to walk about and please God, as you do also walk, in order that you
may abound more and more." In this verse, in some way the important
clause, "as you do also walk," was dropped out, and does not appear in
the English Version, but was restored in the Revised Version. It is of
infinite value, as it settles the controversy in reference to the
Thessalonians, establishing the fact that they were not in a
backslidden state, but well up in justification when they got
sanctified. 1Peter 2:2 "As newly born babes desire the pure milk of the
Word, that they may grow thereby unto salvation." In this verse eis
sooteerian was omitted by some careless transcribe!-. It is very
important, showing up the fact that even after entire sanctification,
follows the growth period, developing into the final salvation of
glorification.

3. INTERPOLATION. N. B. — In the following translation none of the
interpolations will appear. They are all given in the Revised Version,
and marked as interpolations. As I have nothing before me but the
inspired original, which is precisely what the Lord gave us, I do not
feel that He wants me to give you anything else. The translators of the
Revised Version followed the Sinaic Greek, by Tischendorf, as I do,
which contains none of the errors. Consequently they did not get them
out of the original Greek, which they followed, but copied them from
the English Version, retaining them by way of accommodation to the
readers. I proceed now to notice a few of the most prominent
interpolations; as you must remember that we will not give any of them
in the following translations, as I feel the Lord wants me to give you
His Word and nothing else.

a. The largest interpolation is found in Mark 16:9-20, including twelve
verses, at the conclusion of this Gospel, which winds up with the
eighth verse. Of course no one knows who wrote these twelve verses. It
is certain Mark never wrote them, as they do not appear in his Gospel.
Besides they have internal evidence against the authorship of Mark,
containing seventeen words which do not elsewhere appear in Mark's
Gospel. Again, Mark is a very plain writer, this is turgid and
grandiloquent. Some think that the martyrdom of Peter, who is said to
have dictated Mark's Gospel, stopped it abruptly at verse 8, and some
other person finished it. Others have supposed that the death of Mark
produced the cessation. You observe, upon a brief analysis, that this
interpolation contains nothing which is not repeatedly given in other
Scriptures, except the drinking of poison and handling serpents, which
you will doubtless feel relieved to think are no part of the inspired
Word.

b. John 8:1-11, does not appear in the original. It contains nothing
but the account of the adulterous woman, and was doubtless inserted by
a corrupt clergy after the apostasy of the Church, by way of apology
for sin.

c. Acts 8:37. This verse, containing the eunuch's confession, is not in
the original. It so happens that we know how it originated. Erasmus, a
learned contemporary of Martin Luther, while transcribing the Greek
Testament, studying over it, concluded that the connection required a
confession here. Consequently, supposing some careless transcriber had
left it out, he composed that verse according to his own godly judgment
and inserted it. The subsequent discovery of older manuscripts, none of
which contained it, established the fact that the good man was mistaken
and it was no part of the original.

d. Acts 15:34, which simply states that "Silas remained," is not in the
original. When Silas and Judas, who were sent by the Jerusalem council
along with Barnabas and Paul, to carry the apostolical decrees to
Antioch, and verse 33, "And having spent the time, they were sent away
with peace, by the brethren, to those who sent them." Now the simple
fact is, that the narrative goes on to speak of Paul and Barnabas
separating, and going out in two evangelistic bands instead of one;
some transcribers concluded because Silas went away with Paul on that
great tour into Europe, that he did not return to Jerusalem with Judas,
bearing the report to the apostles. Hence the interpolator ventured to
improve the Scripture, as he thought, by stating that "Silas remained."
The solution of the matter is, Paul delayed at Corinth till Silas had
time to go to Jerusalem and return.

e. 1John 5:7. "For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost." This verse is not in the
original. Of course it is true. We are not making inquiry about what is
true and in harmony with the Scriptures; but what is Scripture. This
verse contains the three heavenly witnesses. There is no doubt but it
was invented and inserted by the Trinitarians, during the great
controversy with the Arians, in order to sustain the Bible doctrine of
the Trinity. They made a mistake, as we have no right to add anything
to the Bible, even to sustain the most important truth. God made the
Bible, and put everything in it which ought to be there. This is one
case where sectarian zeal went too far, and added a verse to the Bible.

f. 1Thess. 4:3. "For this is the will of God, your sanctification." The
English Version says "even" your sanctification, inserting an adverb of
surprise, as if sanctification was not for everybody, but only a
favorite saint here and there.

g. 1Cor. 13:5. "Divine love is not provoked." The English Version here
has the adverb "easily," which is not in the original. It is said that
the translators inserted that word to save the Christian character of
King James, who had a very high temper. You see it softens that which
God made hard, and smoothes that which God made rough; thus letting
down God's standard of Christianity to the level of human infirmity. We
might pursue this catalogue of interpolations more extensively, but
this is enough to illustrate the matter. Suffice it to say that when
you want the errors which occur so frequently in the English Version,
you will have to go thither and read them; as in the following
translation we do not feel that the Lord wants us to devote any time to
them. We have enough to do to translate His precious Word.

4. I am well apprised that some good, honest people will censure me,
and, perhaps, severely, for violating the last solemn warning that God
gave us in the Bible, Rev. 22:18, 19, in which terrible woes are
pronounced on the man who adds to the Word or takes from it. Of course,
all of these criticisms will simply come by the way of ignorance. Many
people are so ignorant that they actually look upon the English Bible
as the original, and think every conceivable deflection from it to
involve the party in the awful guilt of "adding to" or "taking from"
God's Word.

N. B. — Your Bible was all written by infallible inspiration, in
languages unknown to the English-speaking millions of this continent
and the British Empire. Therefore the people are dependent on
translators to bring the Scripture within the sphere of their
investigation. The English Version was translated in 1611, almost three
hundred years ago. Consequently the language has undergone many
changes, actually doubling its vocabulary in this time; besides many
words have become obsolete, and others have turned a literal
summersault, reversing their meaning. I believe, by the help of the
blessed Holy Spirit, that we will, in the good providence of God, give
you the plainest, most literal and luminous translation there is in
print. We are living in the last days, when the battle with sin and
Satan is waxing hot, and in this eleventh-hour movement of the gospel
dispensation, we no longer need preachers by dozens, scores, hundreds,
and thousands, but by millions, to flood the heathen world with light,
truth, and holiness, and inundate the globe with salvation. In this
translation I respond to the clamor of the thousands who, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, have heard the translation and exposition of
the New Testament, and in whose ears the bells of heaven are ringing
and the bugle notes sounding, calling them to the front to preach the
everlasting gospel, evangelize the globe, and hasten the coming of the
Lord. As they will never read the Greek we are doing our utmost to
bring it to them in the beautiful, copious, and versatile English
language.

Description:This is the Limited Notes Edition of the ISV that is provided for free for theWord

The ISV is a totally new work translated directly from the original languages of Scripture and derived from no other English translation.

The ISV was produced by Bible scholars who believe that "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16 ISV) It takes advantage not only of the most ancient manuscripts available, but also of the most recent archaeological discoveries.
The ISV is the first English Bible conceived, designed, translated, and formatted primarily for a computer-literate generation. It is being produced entirely in a computer aided media (CAM) format.

The ISV is Sensitive to Poetic Literary Forms in the Original Text. It treats subtle nuances of the original texts with special care. For example, several passages of the Bible appear to have been rendered in poetic form when first penned by their authors. The ISV has meticulously crafted these original passages as true poems—thus communicating a sense of their original literary form as well as translating the original intent of the New Testament author.

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments; Translated

PREFACE

It may seem presumptuous for an ordinary woman with no particular
advantages of education to translate and publish alone, the most
wonderful book that has ever appeared in the world, and thought to be
the most difficult to translate. It has occupied the time and attention
of the wisest and most learned of all ages, believing, as the world has
believed, that such only could give the correct rendering of the
language in which the Bible was written.

Over twenty years ago, when I had four sisters, a friend met with us
weekly, to search the Scriptures, we being desirous to learn the exact
meaning of every Greek and Hebrew word, from which King James's
forty-seven translators had taken their version of the Bible. We saw by
the margin that the text had not been given literally, and it was the
literal meaning we were seeking. I had studied Latin and Greek at
school, and began by translating the Greek New Testament, and then the
Septuagint, from which our Saviour quoted one or two texts which are
not in the Hebrew Bible, and there is now said to be no Hebrew Bible
extant so old as the Septuagint. We all had a strong desire to learn
the signification of the proper names, and I wrote to a learned friend
about it, and he advised me to study Hebrew, saying, " it was a simple
language, and easily learned, there being but one book in the world, of
pure Hebrew, which was the Bible." He added that, " then I could see
with my own eyes, and not look through the glasses of my neighbors." I
soon gave my attention to the Hebrew, and studied it thoroughly, and
wrote it out word for word, giving no ideas of my own, but endeavoring
to put the same English word for the same Hebrew or Greek word,
everywhere, while King James's translators have wholly differed from
this rule; but it appeared to us to give a much clearer understanding
of the text.

It had never at that time entered my mind that I should ever publish
the work, but I was so much interested and entertained to see the
connection from Genesis to Revelation, that I continued my labors and
wrote out the Bible five times, twice from the Greek, twice from the
Hebrew, and once from the Latin—the Vulgate. These three languages were
written over the head of our Saviour. They are now dead languages and
cannot be altered. The whole construction is so complete, that it does
seem to be the work of inspiration, and the only communication from God
to man, for all time. The work is given in types, in figures, in
parables, and In dark sayings, a knowledge of which is gained, as all
other knowledge is gained, by the desire of the heart to learn it. It
may be thought by the public in general, that I have great confidence
in myself, in not conferring with the learned in so great a work, but
as there is but one book in the Hebrew tongue, and I have defined it
word for word, I do not see how anybody can know more about it than I
do. It being a dead language no improvements can be made upon it. As
for the Latin and Greek, I have no doubt many have searched deeper into
the standard works than I have, but I think no one has given more time
and attention to the literal meaning of the Bible text in these
languages.

It is very possible that the readers of this book may think it strange
that I have made such use of the tenses, going according to the Hebrew
grammar. It seems that the original Hebrew had no regard to time, and
that the Bible speaks for all ages. If I did not follow the tenses as
they are, I myself should be the judge, and man must not be trusted
with regard to the Word of God. I think the promiscuous use of the
tenses shows that there must be something hidden, that we must search
out, and not hold to the outward, for the " letter kills, but the
Spirit gives life." It took me about seven years to accomplish the five
translations, at least, I was engaged in it that length of time, not
giving my whole time to it. I should probably have been much longer,
had it come into my head that I should ever consent to have it
published. There may be some little inaccuracies, like putting the verb
to be, for is, in a few instances, but I think never has the sense of
the Original Tongue been altered.

Description:From the preface:
The Purpose of this Translation
While there have been many fine translations which have been a source of blessing to so many, we have felt the need for a translation of the Scriptures which:

Restores the Name of the Almighty to its rightful place in the text (see THE RESTORATION OF THE NAME, below).

Is recognisably Messianic in that it affirms the Hebraic roots of the Messianic belief by its appearance, by the use of Hebraic forms of certain words and titles, and by its usage of the same division of the pre-Messianic books of Scripture (the Tanak? or “Old Testament”) that was current at the time of our Messiah.

Restores the meaning to so many words which have become popular to use, but do not accurately reflect the meaning of the original - for example, church, glory, holy, sacrifice, soul, etc.

Seeks to be as far as possible a “literal” translation, wherever possible rendering key words uniformly (exceptions being noted in footnotes or the Explanatory Notes of the printed version).

Description:
The Twentieth Century New Testament (“TCNT”) is an English translation
of the New Testament. Originally published in three parts between 1898
and 1901, it is considered the first translation of the Bible into
modern English. After further revisions based on suggestions from
readers, the final version was published in 1904.

The Twentieth Century New Testament was produced in Britain over a
period of 15 years by a group of approximately 20 people. Although they
were all fluent in the "koine" Greek of the New Testament, the
translators were not professional scholars but a varied cross section
of society -- ministers, housewives, school teachers, railroad workers,
and businessmen. However they shared the desire (as the Preface to
their work puts it), "to do for the English nation what has been done
already for the people of almost all other countries -- to enable
Englishmen to read the most important part of their Bible in that form
of their own language which they themselves use."

As the project progressed J. Rendel Harris and Richard Francis
Weymouth, two well known scholars of the time, voluntarily advised the
group, helping to ensure scholarly integrity. Also, translation was
done using the then-cutting edge Westcott and Hort text of the Greek
New Testament, further adding to the accuracy of their rendering.

Both the translation and the notes are the responsibility of Wilbur N. Pickering, ThM PhD, being based on his edition of the Greek New Testament, according to the only significant line of transmission, both ancient and independent, that has a demonstrable archetypal form in all 27 books.

The Greek Text of which this is a translation, and articles explaining the preference, may be downloaded free from www.walkinhiscommandments.com.

The translation is quite similar to the NKJV, an excellent translation of a good Greek text. Since participial clauses are grammatically dependent, I tried to reflect that dependency. But I also tried to capture the atmosphere, while remaining faithful to the Text. The result may seem like a curious mixture of formal and idiomatic style.

PREFACE.

This Book, in this particular form, is the outgrowth of a solemn
conviction that such a work was required of the writer by Him Whose he
is, and Whom he seeks to serve. No conviction less than this could have
sustained the writer during the two years and a half he has, largely,
devoted to this work. The work has been done with the view of pleasing
the SUPREME CRITIC, at Whose judgment bar he will have to account for
the manner in which He has handled His word; hence, the all-controlling
motive has been to please Him Who is to be his Final Critic and Judge.
The work has been begun and prosecuted under the distinct conviction
that these New Testament Scriptures, with which the writer has been
concerned, are the veritable word of God — His last revelation to this
sin-cursed world. Had he believed that these Scriptures were inspired
only in "spots," he never could have had the courage to undertake such
a task. Or, had he believed that any of the New Testament teachings
have become effete, or that they mean less than they did when first
given, he would have no heart to embark upon such an enterprise, as
their translation and publication. Believing, however, with all his
heart, that these Scriptures contain nothing but "live matter;" that
they are as true now, and as applicable to man's needs as a tripartite
being, as they ever were; and that God stands ready to verify all the
promises He has given the world and His people in this Book, when His
conditions have been met; the writer, under the guidance of the Holy
Spirit (as he believes), undertook the immensely responsible task of
furnishing to the public, a correct and literal translation of these
Scriptures, put up in good style, with brief notes designed to help the
ordinary Christian, who has no knowledge of the original Greek.
Coupled very closely with a desire to please God by rendering
whole-hearted obedience to Him in His requisition upon the writer to
execute this work, has been the desire — amounting well-nigh to a
passion — to glorify Him by this same work. A strong desire, therefore,
to please and glorify the Triune God has glowed in the writer's heart
from the time the work began, two and a half years ago; and, with
intense gratitude to the Author and Source of all good, he records the
(to many) astonishing fact that, during all the labor of translation
and preparation of the notes, he has never realized any fatigue, in
body or mind, worth noticing. On the contrary, his very spirit, soul,
and body, have glowed, much of the time, with an exhilaration that he
could but credit to Him Whom he had undertaken to serve, please, and
glorify, in the execution of this work.
Of course, absolute perfection is not claimed for this work; but we are
confident that there are many improvements, which the intelligent
reader will not fail to recognize, and especially in the following
particulars: 1. In the capitalization of the initial letter of every
pronoun referring to Deity; as, God Who, instead of God who or God
which. 2. In restricting the solemn form of the pronouns and verbs to
Diety alone; using the common uniformly in all other cases; as, The
Father loveth the Son; The disciple loves his Savior. 3. In the use of
quotation marks to enclose a direct quotation; as, The Pharisee prayed
thus within himself, "Lord, I thank Thee that I am not as other men."
4. In the use of pronouns; as, "Happy are those who mourn," instead of
the usual translation, "Blessed are they that mourn." 5. In the
clipping of thousands of uns from the preposition unto; as, "He
gave the book to me," instead of "He gave the book unto me," where the
un is not only (in such cases) useless, but decidedly clumsy and
inelegant. In these five particulars alone many thousands of
improvements are made even over the late revision of the American
Commission, and that also of the English.
Then, in the matter of translation, the present work claims far greater
fidelity to the original Greek — especially in the use of two important
words — than any revision except a few that, like this, have been by
individuals; viz., baptidzo and ecclesia. Had King James, and all
others since his day, dealt honestly with these two words, Christendom
would not be torn up into shreds, and divided up into competing or
hostile factions, as it now is. Had all these revisers correctly
translated instead of transferred, the Greek word baptidzo, Christendom
would not be compelled to blush at the immense absurdity of calling
three entirely different acts baptism. Had they translated baptidzo,
immerse — which the scholarship of the world required — no one would
have been so simple as to call either sprinkle or pour immersion; but
as they failed to translate baptidzo, those who are ignorant of the
Greek had no certain means of knowing that immersion, sprinkling and
pouring might not all find shelter under this untranslated word,
baptize or baptism. Had they translated baptidzo immerse, then every
one would have known that sprinkling and pouring were not immersion.
Thus an immense wrong has been done in failing to translate baptidzo.
Then a failure properly to translate ecclesia has, likewise, wrought
untold mischief. The word [compounded of ek out of, and kaleein to call
— hence to call out, or those called out from the world to be disciples
of Christ], rightly translated, would have afforded no shelter for the
vast ecclesiasticisms that have overshadowed and well-nigh crowded out
of being the simple, independent, local assemblies, that were
established in the first centuries of Christianity. Ecclesia should
have been translated assembly or congregation; and this would have been
a rebuke to those who would swallow up all local assemblies in a
consolidated denomination, or ecclesiasticism.
The word Sabbaton [a rest day, or period of rest] has been fearfully
juggled with. It never means week. And, through the false translation
of the word, the Christian Sabbath has been greatly abused. The proper
translation of Matt. 28:1, and kindred Scriptures, will leave us a
Christian Sabbath, "the first, foremost, or queen of Sabbaths." "Now,
in the end of Sabbaths [the whole tribe of weekly Sabbaths, special
weekly Sabbaths, Fast Sabbaths, and yearly Sabbaths — all of which were
types of the Anti-typical Sabbath] at the dawning toward the First day
of Sabbaths [the resurrection day of our Savior], came Mary Magdelene
and the other Mary to see the sepulcher." All types give way to their
anti-types. The resurection day of Jesus Christ is the most important
day, thus far, in the history of our planet. Let it, therefore, have
its proper place.
The Greek tenses. It is astonishing to note the little regard paid to
the Greek tenses by the revisers under King James, and by the late
English and even American Commission. Few, indeed, have "The courage of
the Greek tenses," or courage to translate them as they are. Rotherham
and Young nearly always translate the tenses correctly; the late
lamented Broadus comes next (so far as the writer's information
extends) in his fidelity to the tenses; and both the American and the
English revisions have made great improvement over the revisions of
King James in regard to their rendering of the tenses, though both of
the former are singularly lax in their handling of the aorist
indicative. If these Scriptures are truly inspired, they must have been
verbally inspired; and, if verbally inspired, the tense of every verb
must have been inspired; and, being inspired, every tense ought to be
duly translated. To handle the tenses carelessly, is to trifle with the
word of God. The writer has dealt with the tenses as themselves
inspired, and he has not dared to translate them otherwise than is
required by the genius of the Greek language. He has translated the
present tense to correspond to the ''common," "progressive," or
"emphatic" form of the English present, as the sense seemed to require;
the Greek imperfect, which denotes incomplete or habitual action in
past time, into the progressive, or frequentative imperfect tense in
English; and the aorist indicative, as the imperfect indefinite in
English, to denote completed action in indefinite past time. These are
the three tenses that are most difficult to render; the present
perfect, future, and future perfect in Greek, meaning about the same as
the corresponding tenses in English. It is the business of the
translator to translate with scrupulous exactness; and it is the
business of the reader to understand and interpret the meaning; the
former being concerned to express in English, (or any other language),
just what the Greek (or the language to be translated) says; and the
latter, to get the best possible meaning out of what is said. Many
translators seem to have had in their minds just what ought to have
been said, and they often disregard the Greek tenses to sustain their
antecedent assumptions. In this work, the writer endeavored to lay
aside, as far as possible, all pre-conceived and inherited notions of
this inspired Book, and went to work to get at just what it teaches;
and, as he has been enabled to grasp the meaning of the Greek, he has
faithfully, and in the fear of God alone, endeavored to express it in
pure, up-to-date English.

There is yet one other matter the writer has not felt free to copy from
others; viz., the habit of transferring a participial modifier of the
subject to the predicate, and make it a part of a compound predicate;
as, "and having taken a towel. He girded Himself," instead of, as some
revisions have it, "and took a towel and girded Himself." This may make
the same general meaning, but it is not true to the Greek; and,
besides, it assumes the right to put in an "and" that is not found in
the Greek. This is a very common occurrence in most translations.

It is needless to say, after what has been said above, that this book
appears in the interest of no denomination of Christians; nor does the
writer expect any of them, as such, to adopt it; albeit, he does expect
intelligent Christians, into whose hands it may fall, who are hungering
and thirsting for the Gospel of Christ, to appreciate it; and to help
in its distribution over the land, regardless of all petty sect
opposition. The writer feels sure that those who read and study this
version carefully and prayer, fully, in connection with the notes, will
be led to drop many of the traditions of men, and come into the
possession of a much larger Gospel, than has been ordinarily dealt out
to them. The Gospel of Christ, in its fullest meaning, and with all its
provisions for the wants of our sinful race, is none too large; and it
has been one aim with the writer, all the way through, to bring out, so
far as he has been able, the whole truth, "as truth is in Jesus."
"But are you not fearful that your plain translation will injure the
sale of the book?" No; not in the least; for money has nothing to do
with it. A billion of dollars could not change the translation of
either baptidzo or ecclesia. This work has been done as to the Lord;
and it is His, and all the net proceeds will be His. We look to Him,
therefore, to manage to give it a wide circulation for His own glory.
Of course, the co-operation of the lovers of His truth will be
gratefully acknowledged.

It should be remarked that the Greek text of Westcot and Hort, as
modified by that of Scrivener and others, has been used in the
preparation of this work.

TO THE READER.
1. The italic words in the body of the Scripture have no word answering
to them in the Greek text, but are often understood, or implied; as,
"If the world hates you, ye know that it has hated Me, before it hated
you."
2. The words of Scripture that are to be explained in the notes, appear
in italics; as, He will give you another Advocate; the Father will give
the obedient believer who loves Jesus another Advocate, meaning here
the Holy Spirit. The explanation immediately follows the italic words.
3. The alternative renderings appear just below the body of the
Scripture and just above the notes.
4. Whenever the word Heaven appears with an initial capital H, it
refers to the abode of God, or the place where the Heavenly hosts
abide. When it is written, heaven, with a small h, or in the plural,
heavens, it means the regions above the earth, or the firmament.
Special to the Reader. — 1. Understand, dear reader, that present and
eternal interests will be subserved by a real understanding, involving
an experimental knowledge, of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
2. If you really desire such an understanding of these Scriptures, you
must be taught by the Holy Spirit, (John 14:26; 16:13, 14).
3. The Holy One will delight to teach you, if you will receive Him, and
yield yourself to His teaching and guidance, (Luke 11:13; John
14:15-17, 26).
4. Understand, too, that a willingness to do the will of God is one of
the best preparations for receiving a knowledge of His will, (John
7:17).
5. As Christ is the Essence of the Gospel, seek, with all your heart,
to know Him. Open the door of your heart to Him, and let Him in, (Rev.
3:20); and then, as the Holy Spirit enables you to come into
heart-union with your Savior (Eph. 3:16, 17; John 14:17-21), make it a
matter of the very first concern to continuously abide in Him, and
cherish His abiding in you, (John 15:4, 5).
6. By all means, find time to study the word— some portion of it —
every day; invoking the Spirit to teach you its real meaning.
7. Study all the references carefully and prayerfully.
8. Study the word under the distinct conviction that it is the inspired
word of God; and seek, m the study of it, to grasp all its teachings,
clearly taking in every doctrine, promise, principle, and precept, as
well as every provision of the Gospel for all the needs of mankind;
devoutly praying that you may have grace to appropriate every provision
for your spirit, soul, and body, and thus come to have, so far as
possible, an experimental knowledge of it.
9. Finally, seek to convey to others, as far as you can, the knowledge
thus acquired, to the praise and glory of God.
10. Study the contents, or outline, of each book, before entering upon
its study.

The SBL Greek New Testament (SBLGNT) is a new edition of the Greek New Testament, established with the help of earlier editions. In particular, four editions of the Greek New Testament were utilized as primary resources in the process of establishing the SBLGNT. These editions (and their abbreviations) are: WH, Treg, NIV, RP

The starting point for the SBLGNT was the edition of Westcott and Hort. First, the WH text was modified to match the orthographic standards of the SBLGNT (described below). Next, the modified version was compared to the other three primary editions (Treg, NIV, and RP) in order to identify points of agreement and disagreement between them. Where all four editions agreed, the text was tentatively accepted as the text of the SBL edition; points of disagreement were marked for further consideration. The editor then worked systematically through the entire text, giving particular attention to the points of disagreement but examining as well the text where all four editions were in agreement. Where there was disagreement among the four editions, the editor determined which variant to print as the text; occasionally a reading not found in any of the four editions commended itself as the most probable representative of the text and therefore was adopted. Similarly, where all four texts were in agreement, the editor determined whether to accept that reading or to adopt an alternative variant as the text. In this manner, the text of the SBLGNT was established.

This version allows searching on any feature of the text, including grammar, lemmas, notes, readings (ketiv/qere), homonyms, etc. You can search on consonants only or using vowels and accents. You can perform complex searches combining lemmas and grammar and even editor notes!

Grammar codes may appear inline with the text or you can completely hide them and have the full grammar information appear when you hover your mouse over the Hebrew words. Along with the Hebrew text, a dictionary provides a comprehensive guide to help you understand the grammar codes and gives a detailed analysis of each grammar tag.

This is the Hebrew Old testament with Strong's numbers, English Glosses, Transliteration, Morphology Divider for Hebrew prefixes/suffixes, Ketiv/Qere indicators and directional arrows for easy reading.

All these features can be turned on/off (toggled) or be displayed on a popup as the mouse stops over each Hebrew word. This modules uses custom shortcut keys to toggle several non-standard features.

This is a new translation of the Scriptures from the original languages. Completed in 1986 by a team of Latin American evangelical Bible scholars, La Biblia de las Americasis an original work translated from the Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek directly into modern Spanish. La Biblia de las Americas presents the Word of God in a clear and flowing style while strictly adhering to the Hebrew and Greek texts. Following the same principles of translation set for the NASB, La Biblia de las Americas is understandable to the general public and also suitable for serious study.

The LBLA for The Word includes italics for words which are not in the original, poetry styling and small caps, chapter headings, Words of Jesus in red and numerous translator's notes (more than 17,000) and cross-references (more than 93,000).

Nueva Biblia Latinoamericana de Hoy (NBLH) (formerly known as Nueva Biblia de los Hispanos) uses La Biblia de las Americas (LBLA) as the foundation for this new work. It was inspired by the growing demand of today's Hispanic in the United States of America and throughout all of Latin America. While La Biblia de las Americas uses the formal form of Spanish (Vosotros), the NBLH uses the less formal form of Spanish (Ustedes) and incorporates features to help the reader deeply understand the text. Also, the NBLH continues its commitment to accuracy, while increasing clarity and readability. Vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure have been carefully revised for greater understanding and smoother reading for today's demanding Bible reader.

The NBLH for The Word includes italics for words which are not in the original, poetry styling and small caps, chapter headings, Words of Jesus in red and numerous translator's notes (more than 17,000) and cross-references (more than 93,000).

The New Testament is a revision of the second edition translated by Missionary Henry Martyn in 1837. Robert Bruce then revised Martyn's New Testament and translated the entire Old Testament. The translation is generally a literal translation, and the New Testament is in the main based on the Received Text, however some places are affected by the Eclectic Greek Texts. We have corrected the verse numbering problems in this edition, so that it follows the standard verse numbering. This Bibe text is still under review and correction.
